5g Pimento

25g Olive Oil

180g Pickled Vegetables in Vinegar or Oil

Optional Dipping Sauce: 

Essential Cuisine No1 Beef Gravy Mix - made up as per instructions 

Method...

1. Preheat oven to 225°C.

2. Mix all the rub ingredients in a bowl, coat the beef lightly in water to help stick, gently massage the rub all over the beef. Keep any that is left over.

3. Pour the hot Essential Cuisine Beef Stock Mix into a tray (22x33cm) add any remaining rub into this, add a rack on top of the tray and place beef onto the rack, put the roasting tray and rack into the oven for approx. 2.5 hours or core temp reaches 60°c.

4. Heat a frying pan with a little oil to cover the bottom of the pan and cook the peppers until they look limp and shins begin brown approx. 15 mins. Set aside at room temp.

5. Remove the roast from the oven when ready, take the meat off the rack, keep the meat cooking juices and stock, set aside to cool. Cool the meat and place in the fridge.

6. When the meat has chilled down, slice as thinly as possible against the grain, try not to press down too firmly on the crust as this causes thicker slices.

7. Put the meat juices into a pan, taste and season if required, bring to a gentle simmer, add the meat slices and turn down the heat, leave the meat in the juices for approx. 1 min.

8. Slice the sub rolls lengthwise, but leave hinged on one side, start to assemble by spooning some stock directly onto the bread, making it wet, lay generous amounts of beef onto the bread, spoon on more juice, top with the pepper slices and pickled veg, serve on a sheet of parchment with plenty of napkins. 

Chef’s Tip: For the perfect dipping sauce, combine the meat juices with Essential Cuisine No.1 Beef Gravy Mix.
